Have to say, the calibre of show curated by Alex Mitchell from Backwoods Gallery just increases for every show that we see, and playing host to Shohie Otomo will be no exception. Theres just something brutally honest and “real” in Otomos works, which are drawn and crafted only
READ MOREFred Fowler has been bringing his own brand of creative, awesome madness to galleries across the country for many years, and yet this next show may be one of the best shows yet.
